PETROLEUM-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,478, dated November14, 1882.

Application filed June 17, 1882.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DAVID E. BANGs,acitizenof the United States, resident at Medford, in the county of Middlesexand State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and valuable Improvementin Petroleum-Burners; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation ofthe same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part ofthis specification, and to the letters and figures of reference markedthereon.

Figure 1 ot' the drawings is a representation in perspective of thisinvention. Fig. 2 is a section taken longitudinally of the lower part.Fig. 3 is a cross-section taken through the cylinder A and the registerP.

This invention has relation to burners for petroleum and the lighteroils proceeding therefrom; and it consists in combining with atrough-shaped burner and its feeding-coil an inclosing wall orincasement having a base under the burner provided with air-passages andadjustable valves, and having air-passages and adjustable valves in theside wall of the incasement, the lower portions-of the side a rpassagesbeing on a level or slightly above the burner, all as hereinafter setforth.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the incasement orcylinder aroundthe burner B, which is located in the lower part thereofabove the base 0.

D represents the feeding tube or coil leading to the burner, this coilbeing in the construction illustrated arranged above the level of theburner and within the incasement A. The burner B at the lower end ofthis tube or coil is made in trough form'that is to say, the horizontalperforated lower end of the coil rests in a trough, B, secured tothebottom of the incasement, as shown. The result of this constructionis that when the burner is in use the trough B will become highlyheated, and will greatly assist in vaporizing the petroleum or itsproducts under combustion. It will also prevent drippage through thebottom of the incasement should the draft become insufficient. I havedescribed and shown a perforated. trough connected with a supply-tube ina former patent, No. 229,355; but this construction is designed as animprovement on said patent. r

In the base 0 of the incasement or cylinder are formed the air-openin gse, and in connec- (No model.)

[ tion therewith a register-plate, F, is provided,

being pivoted to the base 0, as indicated at g, and provided with ahandle, it, whereby it may be readily turned to bring its openings 70 orintermediate valve portions, 1, opposite the openings e of the base. Inthe side wall of the incasement or cylinder are formed at or a littleabove the level of the burner B the openings or air-passages m, andaround the cylinder is arranged a register-ring, P, having the openings12, and the intermediate stops or valve-walls,p, which, by turning theregisterring, may be made to partially or wholly close the openings m.By adjusting the registers F and P the amount of air supplied to theburner can be easily regulated to suit the draft of any stove orchimney, so that all the smoke will be consumed and a perfect combustionwill be obtained,

The object of this invention is to regulate the heat and make thecombustion perfect for 'or surrounding wall provided with adjustableair-passages to regulate the amount of air supplied to the point ofcombustion is not broadly claimed herein.

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s-

In a petroleum-burner, the combination,with a trough-burner consistingof a trough, B, and the horizontal lower perforated end of thefeeding-coil D resting therein, of the coil D, arranged directly overthe burner, and an incasement having a base under theburner providedwith air-passages and adjustable valves, and air-passages and adjustablevalves in the side walls of the incasement on a level with or slightlyabove the burner, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.
